I am trying to find the meaning of the motto: Piu forte nell' auversita.
The spelling of the words may be wrong in which case a corrected version would be appreciated.
That looks like Italian rather than Latin. What do you mean by "Old Latin?" There's no such thing as "new Latin."

@peter1407,
Pio forte = (more) Stronger, nella Universita (?) in University...could it be ? it is Italian indeed...and the sentence a parochial dumb statement if it means what it seams...

Perhaps you mean
Più forte nell' avversità
Stronger in adversity
That's Italian.
And yes, there is an "Old Latin" which preceded Classical Latin.
..correct that seams the rightful meaning on the sentence it far makes more sense then my first impression...Stronger in adversity it is indeed...thanks for steeping in George !
While we have some experts of Ancient or "old" Latin, does anyone know the meaning if "Venit re novae?" from old Latin? I'm under the impression that its meaning in old Latin is different than its meaning in classic Latin.
